Meet Betty

Betty truly embodies what it means to be an “all-rounder”. Professionally, she’s in marketing and business development for a law firm, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of who she is! Whether it’s joining a fitness group, doing charity work, or volunteering at a dog shelter, Betty is eager to get involved if it means she can connect with different people and do things for others. “It’s part of my DNA!”

What does someone with her unique combination of skills, experiences, and interests look for in a volunteering opportunity? 

  

“It’s All About Listening and Learning”

Being from Australia, Betty was exposed to several number of charitable organizations that work with the homeless and elderly in Sydney. Through volunteering with these organizations, she was given the opportunity to make genuine connections with people she wouldn’t have met otherwise. “For me, it was priceless to listen and learn about other people's stories, and being able to be exposed to multiple perspectives in life."

When Betty moved to Hong Kong, she decided that she wanted to give everything a try. Compared to Sydney, it’s easy to get involved here because of how dense and connected the city is. And with a platform like Time Auction that facilitates volunteer matching with impactful organizations, she simply couldn’t resist giving it a go.
